    double click the equivalent of the blue bar (i.e. the status bar thingy) I think.

    You can also click on the middle of the three buttons on the top left of the application.

    (wait while you try to install software, that really is weird).

    That just minimizes it unless I'm clicking in the wrong place, I'm double clicking above the address bar, is that what you mean?

    Yea, think it's white or grey ... I'm sure that's how I did it. Ill check when I get in (by which time you'll have probably been answered).

    You can specify the size of the webpage manually by dragging the bottom right corner of the window around (using the grey bar). The size you leave it on decides what to maximise and minimise betwen when you click the green cross (top left). Thats using Safari anyway.
